Now that RAF seems like it won't be readily available any more I'm looking for suggestions for something similar. Wondering if KBV has anything like RAF cause I already have a couple of their flavors I order regularly. I've tried RY4 from a couple of other vendors but haven't like them all that much, so what to do folks think. Is there anything else that comes close?

Vermillion River and Clouds of Vapor's organic tobacco line tasted similar to me.

But, you never know what aspect of the flavor hooked you until it's missing.

Have you tried the other AVE tobaccos, such as 555, Flue Cured, Havana? Since AVE's will all have some similarity, you might get closer by just picking your favorite of those, and sweetening it up a little with some caramel or another sweet flavor that you like...

Hmmm, let me drip some a bit; tastes like a classic RY4; still a hint of Boba's there, let me flush it out with more Raf-a-licious. Damn that's good. Well, I'd say some Ikenvape RY4 gold is very close but not as mild and not as sweet but very close. I'd have to say you won't find one close enough but you could sweeten and tone down another classic RY4 and get pretty close. I hope they continue to sell this forever.

I've never liked another tobacco flavor near as much as I like RAF. Perhaps that's because it is so sweet and mild, while still retaining just a bit of a bite in the back of my throat. I am glad they will continue to offer it and will order from ave as long as they sell it, but recent events have taught me not to rely on any sole vendor for anything. It's always good to have multiple backups around. Could you imagine if ave closed up shop, or even if they decided they couldn't make any more boba's? This place would go freakin crazy.
